Over the past year, our activists have worked alongside communities across the West Bank including Khan al-Ahmar, Ras Ein al-Auja, Samra, Sinjil, Battir and beyond. We have challenged settler violence and forced displacement, protested the treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the death penalty, and brought new Palestinian and Israeli activists into this work through our educational programmes, joint ceremonies and field actions.
Whatever the political environment ahead, we will continue to defend Palestinian rights, oppose displacement and occupation, and strengthen Palestinian-Israeli nonviolent co-resistance. Our work is rooted in the conviction that Palestinian freedom and equality, and Israeli democracy and security, are not competing goals, and neither can be secured at the expense of the other.
As Yom Kippur approaches, its call for accountability feels especially relevant: to recognise injustice, and to take responsibility for changing what is within our power to change.
To all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah, we wish you and your families a peaceful and meaningful Shana Tova. |
